This week at the library:
Tuesday, March 20th:
4 pm - Our first meeting of those participating in Family Game Day. We plan on providing playing cards, Life, and Sorry. We will also have some simple snacks and drinks. This meeting is very informal. We just expect people to show up and start playing whatever kind of games they choose. We would like you to register though so we will know if we have enough snacks and games. This is really an event for families, not an event to drop children off unsupervised. Register by calling the library at 527-4360 or stop by the front desk.
6 pm - Knit and Crochet Club Meeting
Thursday, March 22nd - RIOT ACT (book club) meeting at 7 pm. We will be discussing the book, Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders.

Thursday, March 29th - 6 pm - Orphan Train in McLean County, presented by Rochelle Gridley of the McLean County Museum of History. From 1872 to 1890 the western agency of a New York Orphanage was in Normal, Illinois. Learn about the fate of orphans brought to McLean County by the famed rains over a 60 year period. Please register for this event!
Tuesday, April 10th - 6 pm - Two Bloomington-Normal residents will be at the library to talk about their parent's experiences in World War II. Anna Wells parents were Jewish citizens of Poland when the Nazis invaded. Elleke Mesdag was a young girl living in Holland when the Nazis invaded her country. We hope you can join us for these personal stories from our two speakers. Please register for this event!
